Re: Time to MOVE Airplane! NOW
Just get it moved if you have to. I flew from Nebraska to Socal with no transponder No problems, just talk to ATC, they'll work with you.

Re: Boarding Steps
I just put the F. Atlee Dodge step on my pilot side....my step broke off at the weld. Looks good, well built. A bit of a pain but, looks like it will hold up well.

Re: Ingress Step Usage
My pilot side broke last spring as I was getting in.....fun stuff! It broke at the weld. There was no indications of a previous repair but I cannot be sure. Upon inspection, there was a small bit of corrosion near the weld break. After discussing repair/replace with my IA, I decided to buy the F. At...

Re: C170 Shop In Los Angeles area?
Do you need it in the LA basin or, can you fly it up to Santa Paula (SZP) I have 2 IAs in SZP that are fantastic and know 170s. I have a friend at Torrance with a 170, I'll call him tomorrow and find out who he uses (no, he's not in the club!!! Arrrghhh....)

Axle replacement thoughts
Hi all, Doing a fairly extensive annual on 39A this year and have the gear off to do corrosion control I had my IA inspect the original axles and he reports that there are no issues. That said, what are the general opinions regarding replacing the original axles with aftermarket steel ones? It's a g...

Re: Sad news
Jim, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my wife Jan 25, last year. It's not easy, at all. Time will help. I'm TAD to Bremerton for the next 2 weeks, if you'd like to get together to talk with someone outside of your circle, let me know. This weekend would work, just PM your email or number ...
